Folates comprise a crucial class of biologically active compounds related to folic acid, playing a vital role in numerous enzymatic reactions. One-carbon metabolism, facilitated by the folate cofactor, supports numerous physiological processes, including biosynthesis, amino acid homeostasis, epigenetic maintenance, and redox defense. Folates share a common pterin heterocyclic ring structure capable of undergoing redox reactions and existing in various protonation states.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the 17-year dynamics in the personal dosimetry records of the medical staff in one interventional cardiology department in Bulgaria.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on detecting multijet signatures from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV, analyzing a dataset totaling 128 fb^{-1}.
- A special data scouting method is utilized to pick out events with low combined momentum in jets.
- This research is pioneering in its investigation of electroweak particle production in R-parity violating supersymmetric models, particularly examining hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and it broadens the limits on the existence of R-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.
Photoreduction of oxidized flavins has a functional role in photocatalytic and photoreceptor flavoproteins. In flavoproteins without light-dependent physiological functions, ultrafast, reversible flavin photoreduction is supposedly photoprotective by nature, and holds potential for nonnatural photocatalytic applications. In this work, we combine protein mutagenesis, ultrafast spectroscopy, molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics calculations to investigate the nonfunctional flavin photoreduction in a flavoenzyme, lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) which is pivotal in DNA transcription.
